Michael Culloty is a retired Physical Education teacher who has a lifelong interest in the Bible and Biblical Spirituality.

He is a native of Gurrane, Tralee and is married to Margaret, with three children and three grandchildren. In March 2018 he published a book on the Bible, the title of which is FOR IT IS WRITTEN and whose main focus is to show how the Old and New Testament combine to reveal God, most notably in the person of Jesus Christ.

Currently he is helping to organise the Culloty Gathering in September, 2018. The event will focus on the history of the Culloty family who had their ancestral roots in Currovough North, tracing their descendants at home and abroad from 1799 to the present day. Visitors are expected from America, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and England in conjunction with the many local and nationally based families.
